Maharaja Trophy 2024: Match 25, GMY vs SL Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between GMY vs SL?

On paper, Shivamogga Lions (SL) are still in contention for a place in the semi-final. The Nihal Ullal-led side has managed to win only two out of their six matches and interestingly, both their victories have come in their last two games. They have finally settled in and now, a win against Gulbarga Mystics (GM) will help them remain in the race and put pressure on Mysore Warriors, who are fourth on the table.

Mystics, on the other hand, are third on the points table, with nine points to their name. They have qualified for the semi-finals and are not under any pressure but the Devdutt Padikkal-led side hopes to be more consistent at the business end of the tournament. They lost to Bengaluru Blasters in their last match and would be desperate to bounce back against Shivamogga on August 27.

Match Details

Pitch Report

The surface at the Chinnaswamy Stadium typically assists the batters. The spinners have done well in the afternoon games. Bowling first is ideal as chasing is relatively easier under lights. Anything over 160 runs can be considered a good total.
